Here is a quote from Matt Murphy KPCB in regards to their iFund and what focus it has.

“Matt Murphy, Partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers: We are seeing at the iFund 15 percent enterprise, 85 percent consumer, with even distribution between social networking, games, communication and stuff like that. Right now they’re simple, lightweight, fun, easy to use — given that we’re only three months into this and six months since we launched the SDK, pretty good. Not bad revenue streams either. I’m most excited going forward about the next wave of more sophisticated applications.”

Bracing for the big one

The Valley’s latest extreme sport is feigning nonchalance about the economy. Living in an earthquake zone requires developing a habit of stoic flinchiness. The economy’s seismic shifts are slower, but just as unpredictable; all one can do it shrug one’s shoulders, stock the emergency kit, and keep on living. “We’re watching the economy crater all around us, but … well, we’re not really seeing any direct impact,” writes Tech Ticker anchor Sarah Lacy. “Making things more uneasy for those here in 2000: We didn’t cause this one.” Lacy’s right to reach back in history for examples, but her timing is off. This is 1998 all over again.
